coryv4 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 fastest quad in the world is a 4-stroke, just saying. fastest quad in the world is not a 4 stroke. the fastest trike is a 4 stroke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAJUN BANSHEE Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 but i want to go fast lol, i can't afford "new" either, why do you say buy a banshee and get familiar with your tools i thought i was told before they were reliable, did i miss something? To keep anything reliable you will have to throw a wrench or two, no matter what it is. It's a toy, toys can and will break. Buy a horse if you don't like tools.

sheerider11 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yeah, just walk away now then. I ride my bike knowing something is going to more then likely break. I bought mine to beat the shit out of it, not baby it. I break something Sunday, I have till next Sunday to fix it. Now realistically, that's every toy you own. I've gone a month without working on it, I've rode 10 minutes and broke stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadbeat Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 i am pretty sure a raptor holds the world record for going like 200mph+. so again fastest. you are thinking quickest. To know the difference. Quickest is the time it takes to cover a 1/4, fastest is the highest speed. that rocket powered thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride4life10 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 i know stuff is always gonna break, and i can fix little things, i'm not a total fuckhead! my stuff does break but are you saying to walk away because banshees ain't as reliable as a 4-stroke or are you saying anything will break and i should not own anything?

ride4life10 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) i'm going to ask a couple more questions and i want an honest answer PLEASE. which involves more maintenace a new 4-stroke or banshee? and should a properly maintained banshee live almost as long as a 4-stroke properly maintained?

ride4life10 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 they are a money pit but so is my truck, sled and 4x4 quad but i live to ride!!! and i'm only 17, i got a few years to learn my dad is a full-time mechanic so its in my blood if i just keep trying to improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride4life10 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 the reason why i don't think i should get a 4-stroke is because 450s need to be rebuilt all the time and i put hundreds of miles on a year. plus with 4-strokes you have valves to shim, cam chains etc. what would you suggest?

CAJUN BANSHEE Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Buy what you want and take it one day at a time. Learn as you go, trial and error. Plus we won't mind selling you parts in the future. For real man, no answer will be the right answer! Especially buying a used quad, no telling what you'll get bro. So buy what you want and go from there. You can pretty much assume that a perfectly tuned banshee that has been mildly built will be reliable............maybe!?

possum Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 We have several 4 stroke ATVs. They start summer or winter, we beat the shit out of them and only add gas and change oil once a year. IMO a banshee is reliable stock, or slightly modded. It's about how much you know, and how well your tune is. I barely ride my banshee, just because my friends don't want to ride with me and have to worry about me having something go wrong. ffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
